[edit] Proposed Canon

Hyatt is a member of the recently re-established Royal Crown Coalition.

[edit] Speculation

It is implied^{summer-updates-040} that Hyatt is not in fact a Royal side. Hyatt is a Regency, but the meaning of this is unclear. In the Real World's history, a regent is established when a new King or Queen is too young to assume the duties of the throne. The regent rules in the monarch's stead until the monarch comes of age. It is not clear how this would function in a world with no children.

It may indicate a once-Royal side whose monarch named a non-Royal Heir Designate before being croaked. This could possibly happen even with one or more Royal Heirs in the side. It is also possible that the side thus run by a non-royal Overlord, or Regent could still pop a Royal Heir, perhaps within a limited number of turns, or a royal heir was already being produced when the Ruler was croaked with a non-royal unit holding the position of Heir Designate at the time. Or possibly, the (Royal) Ruler is under some long-term effect (possibly a spell) which left the Ruler unable or unfit for ruling so the (non-royal) Chief Warlord had to become Regent and assume control.

[edit] Real World References

The regency of Hyatt is a reference to the Hyatt Regency hotel.
